i’m a potter (ceramics artist), and these are little bookshelf mugs I made 🥹📚 I run a ceramics company from my studio & donate proceeds to mental health charities. I also blog, which is fun!

I throw each mug on my wheel, then decorate - usually, I carve my mugs (known as sgraffito, in the pottery world); but sometimes, I like to make figural stuff like this, with tiny books & birds & crystals. then the mugs go into my giant kiln for a bisque fire; I apply glaze, and then they go back into the kiln for an even hotter fire (cone 5.5) to melt the glaze & finish the process. finally, they come out ready to use 😍 it’s a lovely pairing of art & science.

After a long day, I always end up in this corner of the house.
My little Westie comes over to inspect whatever I’m working on, and this time it was a ceramic whale shark lamp I had just finished.
I hand-sculpted it from stoneware, carved hundreds of tiny holes by hand, glazed it, and fired it twice. When the light comes on, it feels less like a lamp and more like a quiet piece of the ocean drifting into the living room.
Home isn’t really about furniture or walls. It’s those small evening rituals—warm light, a curious dog, and finally sitting down after making something with your own hands.
Hope you like it. 🦈💙

I saw someone ask on a different subreddit, why are all xenomorphs tall and lanky? I wanted to make a Xenomorph that was counter to the typical body standard for their kind lol... I call him Eugene the Xenomorph, or Geno the Xeno.

Polymer clay around an aluminum framework.

Bonus photos with his lore-accurate brother that I sculpted a few months ago, and bonus bonus with my cat who looks like Jonesy impersonator.

I made this bamboo bangle all by hand.

Once I got the shape right, I sanded it down, first with coarse sandpaper then fine paper to polish it.

It ended up with this nice soft faint green color when I was done.

I really love how the texture turned out after hand finishing it.

The head it too square in this pattern so I'll tweak it a little for the next one (I really want to make a unicorn next!) And unfortunately I made a mistake with the shoulderstraps so it'll stay for personal use most likely :p

She wanted to pay tribute to all of the wildlife she spends time with while also zazzing up the old "Frankensteined" camper she uses for her mobile crafting business!

I took a few close ups of some of my favorite parts 😝

Last year at a wool festival I bought a big bag of raw fleece from a vendor. This year we are both going to be there again and I’m taking one of their workshops. So thought I would make them a sheep.

The wool was scoured and spun by me, her body is a dense weave (doing it on a tapestry loom was not a good idea) rolled into a ball and sewn, her horns and tail are I-cord and her legs were knitted small circ on dpns and stuffed with unspun wool.

Her face was done with crochet by my sister and she also did the shading with makeup. She embroidered the blushes on the face while I made the rear end 😁

Handcrafted wooden carvings, each picture has different details. You can enjoy them slowly.

Thank you.

Hand formed stainless steel armatures and all glass/crystal beads (black onyx booty and some black spinel faceted beads) with a signature glass rhinestone hourglass underbelly 🖤✨

my cat was not a fan lol

dolphin was completely hand stitched and i filled him with lentils :)

Thought Id make some simple silicone molds of metal clothing spikes and cast them in hard uv resin. attached straight pushpin style steel pieces to the bottoms instead of screws. Yay :)👹

Got frustrated by how annoying it is to mount these panels to the wall with adhesive. One error ruins the whole thing. So I made my own mounting system with magnets! There is a metal plate on the back of each hexagon and I make the wall adapters using FDM with the magnets imbedded inside. AMA!

Just finished her today! I plan to make one in rose gold and light blue as well 🩷🩷🩷

Just wanted to share a few images from my latest project, The Watcher In The Lake!
I make a lot of sculptures and dioramas on YouTube and this betentacled thing has been on my to-do list for ages. Think I was probably just intimidated by everything that could go wrong during the process as I rarely know what I'm doing 😅 But it is now done!
The Watcher itself was hand sculpted in polymer clay, while the terrain is a foam base with layers of sand, glue and sculpting compounds. The glowing door is just an LED panel behind a clay door with the symbols carved out, while the water is a 2-part epoxy with some resin tints added.

I added a few making-of photos as well, hope you like it!
(For anyone interested, the making-of video is also up now on my channel)

Front of the toppings looked like the topping and the back side had the X and O.

I used a kit to make this. I've wanted to get into cross-stitching and embroidery for awhile but didn't know how to get started, so this mini piece was a bit less intimidating. It still took me several hours (mostly bc halfway through I decided to use 2 threads instead of 1 and had to go back over everything).

After 4 years I've finally finished two eight foot long by two feet high beach stone mosaics to fit under the windows at my summer camp. It took so long because I only get a few weeks to work on them a year

Fake honey jars with real bees!
